Anyone celebrating ExxonMobil’s recent announcement that it acknowledges the truth of climate change can stick the cork back in the bottle. While Exxon’s vice president for public affairs, Kenneth Cohen cast climate cange as undeniable, ExMo CEO Rex Tillerson made it clear yesterday that the company is still happily clinging toย doubt.

โ€œMy understanding is thereโ€™s not a clear 100 percent conclusion drawn,โ€ Tillerson told an industry gathering in Houston. โ€œNobody can conclusively 100 percent know how this is going to play out. I think thatโ€™sย important.โ€

Tillerson also said he sees no role for Exxon in helping to develop alternatives like ethanol, quipping, โ€œI donโ€™t have a lot of technology to add toย moonshine.โ€

It looks like the deniers might be able to count on a few more years of ExMo funding , afterย all.
